Actually, just to clear things up, my server doesn't connect to your
server (sure you where not reading it backwards?).  The plugin connects to
my webserver inorder to check for signature updates.  The apache server
appears to be having a few difficulties the last few days.  I should
probably finish the sockets code inorder to use timeouts.  I have actually
written a better perl version that uses the clamav database instead of my
own signatures (22K+ sigs).  As soon as I finish the module code for it,
it will be released as the next version.  It currently support my php
scanner, a my perl scanner, clamav, and its simple to write modules to
support just about any antivirus.  I am also looking at supporting the
scanning of attachments directly after uploading.
